Synopsis

A fun and interactive way for young children to recognise their emotions and feelings and develop their emotional vocabulary using animal associations and mood-lifting suggestions.

 

Are you feeling as happy as a lamb or as grumpy as a goat? Jump around the room like a little spring lamb. How do you feel now?

 

Happy as a Lion focuses on emotions – those physical, reactive emotions, such as joy, anger, sadness, excitement and fear. There are suggestions for children to try to turn negative emotions into more positive ones, such as imitating an animal – go from being a grumpy alligator to joyful dolphin, or find someone who makes you feel as safe as a bear cub when you feel scared! Humour, exercise, mindfulness, breathing techniques or seeking help are all tried and tested strategies to soothe fears, stress, or anxiousness. There are five double-sided puzzle pieces that fit together for extra fun, and they offer parents and carers a way to open up conversations and create the foundations for positive mental health through play.

 

• Suitable for children aged 2 to 5

• Teresa Bellón’s characters cleverly visualise the animals' and children’s feelings so children can identify their own

• Fun suggestions under the puzzle pieces encourage children to express their emotions or do something that will turn negative feelings into more positive ones

• Includes 10 feelings: happy, grumpy, excited, sad, safe, scared, joyful, angry, proud and embarrassed

 

Look out for Brave as a Lion in the same series of board books from Mama Makes Books, about feelings – those quiet, hidden, sometimes long-lasting feelings such as feeling brave, shy, tired or upset.
